16 Week doctor appointment!

So I went to the doctor for my 16 week check-up and all went well!  I have now lost a total of 5.5 lbs since my first apt. which is not great but the doctor didn't seem too concerned.  The baby's heart rate was in the 150's today (girl?) and we scheduled my next ultrasound for July 11th! Woo hoo! I can't wait to find out the sex, it's driving me crazy not knowing!

My little Jax has been feeling crummy and had a tummy ache tonight :( but that doesn't stop him from being silly and cute! ;)

(Please ignore the fat diaper, he had just got up from a nap)

Oh and these chairs were part of mine and Neil's birthday gifts this year from his mom. I really love em!

Speaking of my hubs, he's still training...

Can you tell where my child gets his silly ways?? I wouldn't have it any other way though! I love them both so much and we can't wait for our crazy soldier to get home!

And so it begins.

The countdown to my husband returning to us has begun.  I will not be able to tell specifics about his deployment but I can share some small things.  I ask that everyone pray for all of our soldiers deploying for Operation New Dawn (there are 1300 Ky National Guard members leaving very soon), for their well being, safe return, and for their families left here at home.  If you haven't experienced it before, it's something that is totally un-nerving and not at all fun. 

Jaxson and I are doing well considering Neil is gone.  Jax has been looking all over for him and he has been very attached to me.  I was doing great until the day I came home without my hubs...I lost it when I saw his stuff still on the counter and pj's by the bed.  This is really gonna be tough, tougher than I had ever imagined.  I hope I can keep myself busy and stay strong for Jax and the new bebe.

On a lighter note- We had a fish fry today which was really great and took Jaxson down to the pool which he LOVED, pretty nice day overall!  And I promise I'll post pictures soon!
